TEX Appeal|Ally + Shar are back!

Webster Bank|We Find a Way to FUCK you!!!

So there I was, minding my own bank business, and the next thing you know, a well-known shopping (shopLIFTING) site ends up charging me some special exorbitant rate enrolling me in some "frequent shopper" program...and when did it hit? When I had written out several bills etc, and there was quite a bit of activity going through my account.

Thankfully, the donations to Haiti through iTunes weren't affected, but lo and behold, a $1 app for my iPod Touch WAS bounced, and the fee of $34 was levied on the $1 application.

WOW! Webster Bank. We really DO find a way...to FUCK you.

Do you think depositing said dollar in a savings account (if they would even accept a $1 deposit into a personal savings account!!!) would earn interest overnight totalling $34?

I don't THINK so.

Webster Bank.

We find a way.

So bend over and TAKE it.

Dry. No lube.

(Probably no condom either! No banking is safe there!)

And while I'm at it, check THIS out:

You walk into the branch with a check to make a deposit, and depending on the nature of the check, Webster will hold all of it, or a portion of it. But this just happened to be a state check drawn on Bank of America, so Webster's tellers were going to hold the ENTIRE check.

BUT!

If you make an ATM deposit of the EXACT SAME CHECK, you will be granted access to the first $100 of that check.

Isn't it great!

A PERSON (like a teller) won't trust you to grant you access to the first $100 dollars of your check, but an ATM MACHINE will give it to you.

The ATM would probably give you $100 cash if you deposited an empty envelope too!
